Starting Aug 17, 2026, Atlassian is taking your metadata if you're not on their $$$$$ enterprise tier. If you don't pay them, they'll also take all of your in-app data and keep it for up to 7 years. You also need to opt out of them taking your in-app data. What's to stop them from taking your in-app data on the paid tiers when they change their minds?
Think about this. 70% of software companies globally use Jira, and all your research, designs, and business context live in Confluence.
When (not if) the AI coding tools improve enough, they can essentially replicate your entire product and compete against you. They can generate a client list and sell against you. Or help your competitor build what you've made, faster with your own context.
What a nightmare.

@mayintoronto @rotnroll666 I say again, now is the time to make a free jira account and just fill it with nonsensical stuff. Move things into different states in meaningless ways. Write code that will never compile and commit it to bitbucket.
Poison the ML data.
